What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Exit's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the office or desk space provided to Sales Representatives is on a non-exclusive basis. Exit agrees to make available to the Sales Representative an office or desk space, a reception area, together with telephone and other communication means for the Sales Representative to utilize in furtherance of the services contemplated by the agreement.
This means that the Sales Representative will share the office space, reception area, and communication tools with other representatives. This arrangement is common in the real estate industry, where agents often work as independent contractors and share resources to reduce overhead costs.
For a prospective Exit franchisee, this non-exclusive arrangement implies that they should not expect a private office. They will need to be comfortable working in a shared environment. This also means that the franchisee needs to be prepared to share resources and coordinate with other sales representatives in the office.
